I could be carrying the weight of the day
Clouds in my mind, getting lost in the gray
But Ronnell, you walk in and shift the whole room
You pull out a smile and you chase out the gloom
No matter the mood that I'm tangled up in
You crack a little joke and I'm laughing again
You wrap your arms round the walls I had built
And replace all my worry with the warmth that I feel
ChorusYou are my protector, my shelter from the rain
The one who reached out and took away the pain
I can't see my life without you by my side
You are my safe place, my peace, and my guide
When my spirit was heavy and broken back then
Ronnell, you taught me how to love again
Verse 2It's not just the grand things that make me so sure
It's the quiet little moments that I can't ignore
Like sitting in the car, with the engine turned off
Just talking for hours, our voices so soft
Or waiting at the doctor's with the girls we adore
Just holding your hand, I don't need anything more
You anchor my soul when the world starts to spin
With every new day, I fall deeper in
ChorusYou are my protector, my shelter from the rain
The one who reached out and took away the pain
I can't see my life without you by my side
You are my safe place, my peace, and my guide
When my spirit was heavy and broken back then
Ronnell, you taught me how to love again
BridgeI didn't know if I could give my heart away
I was so used to the shadows, so used to the gray
But you took every shattered piece of my soul
You saved me, my fiancé, you made my heart whole
From the waiting room chairs to the passenger seat
My world without you would be so incomplete
Final ChorusYou are my protector, my shelter from the rain
The one who reached out and took away the pain
I can't see my life without you by my side
You are my safe place, my peace, and my guide
When my spirit was heavy and broken back then
Ronnell, you taught me how to love again
